  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    [open]Bill Booth's Blood and Fire Drop-in (5)

    YEES I called it soccer, what should I call it ? I can't call it football or it would make our high school teams and the BC Lions very confused about the sport they play. There are only two of us from my corps on army meeting so far too but I expect it will grow. have a safe trip Andy

    Maybe you guys could have a soccer thread. If anyone has facebook they have a new application called "Army meeting" ArmyMeeting is a place where you can find your fellow Salvationists. You can search for members of Salvation Army Corps all over the World and register your name against...

    A little confused on baptism

    Yes they are "Oneness Pentecostal" and are quick to point out that there is no mention of the trinity in the Bible. I went to a service when friend was baptized, I felt so uncomfortable watching her stand there soaking wet in a bathrobe praying for tongues.

    A little confused on baptism

    That's an excellent point everyone makes about the thief on the cross, my dad always reminds me of that when I tell him about the sect my friend is in who believes you must have "the Holy Ghost" to go to heaven. No one took the thief off the cross and dunked him and prayed for him to get tongues.

    Embattled Calif. Dentist Says Breast Rubs Necessary

    Hmm my doctor seems very focused on my breasts sometimes. He doesn't touch them but comments on my "large low breasts" and has even suggested they could interfere with my breathing. STOP LOOKING AT MY CHEST!!!! I came in with a sore throat.

    Well, that was interesting...

    You make an excellent point and I am showing some hypocrisy in this. I always say christians make abortion and homosexuality out to be the unpardonable sin....but this is a hard one for me.

    thank you I was going to say that, when it is brewed sufficiently take out the tea bags! My granny's cosy is orange and white, I have a picture of my daughter wearing it somewhere. She made my brother wear it as a hat once, he was going up a mountain, safety pinned the holes shut.

    A little confused on baptism

    I brought it up tongue in cheek, sorry if you thought I was trying to open up debate. I do have a friend who believes salvation consists of repentance, water baptism and baptism in the holy spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. These steps all have to be done as close together as possible...

    Abusive Women

    There is no need to welcome abusive people as friends. Friends can be abusive as well as intimate partners.

    Embattled Calif. Dentist Says Breast Rubs Necessary

    HA HA HA, that was his defense in court, he used gas and a few women woke up to find their pants undone. He used the defense he was checking their pulse. My little sister had him as a dentist but we don't believe thankfully that she was abused, not to minimize it but he only did to adults...

    Well, that was interesting...

    The parts I saw he wasn't saying that he was necessarily planning to act on it, but as many adults who prey on children, he thinks it is normal to be attracted to them and he believes they are coming on to him. The part that I found frightening, just before he was shut down was when he admitted...

    Well, that was interesting...

    I think I was hoping if we clarified enough we would find out he didn't mean what he said. Still he said he didn't believe in sex outside of marriage and he's not going to find a 12 year old to marry, so perhaps he was just being hypothetical. Then again he is hanging out with 12 year olds who...

    I am so angry

    The church I was attending....well the pastors were supportive in some ways but kicked me off the worship team because I had marriage problems. The church I attend now I don't know anyone really well except the youth pastor and he is great to my kids.
